In early 1995 we first put Mississippi Review on the Web. The idea was to make our literary magazine available free of charge to all who might be interested. Our second idea was to insist the magazine have fresh content distinct from the print edition of Mississippi Review. We've done that, more or less, with a couple of notable exceptions, and this archive page links to everything we've published online since we first posted on the internet in April 1995. These days we're seeing nearly 400,000 visitors per year. We thank you for making Mississippi Review one of the highly regarded literary magazines on the Internet.
